"The Conqueror's Haki is good, splendid indeed!"
"I'm curious to see how ugly Garp's face will get when I send him your corpse, hahaha!"
Upon discovering that Abel also possesses Conqueror's Haki, Chinjao was initially shocked, then burst into loud laughter.
Strangling a genius is a favorite pastime for many, especially when it concerns someone related to Garp.
His revenge might just be realized today.
No, this is only the beginning!
He plans to eliminate everyone around Garp.
(Monkey D. Dragon: Oh, aren't you impressive. When will you come for me?)
"Such a weakling like you actually doesn't need Uncle Garp to take action; I'm more than enough."
"You boastful brat, meet your end!"
"Eight-Impact Fist: Mace Head!"
Enraged, Chinjao leaped into the air and plunged down like a meteor towards Abel below.
This move was supposed to be performed with Chinjao's spearhead combined with his towering stature over five meters, to multiply its power several times.
But since the spearhead was flattened, he had to rely on Armament Haki to protect his flattened head as he launched the powerful strike.
Abel, wanting to test the extent of his opponent's current strength, only entered his Oni-Ghost Mode and also wrapped his fist with Armament Haki for a head-on collision.
Boom!
The ice beneath Abel's feet shattered like a spider web.
Chinjao flipped and landed on his head, then began spinning at high speed, resembling a rapidly twirling top, attacking Abel once again.
Although the person hadn't approached yet, a gale had already formed.
Abel, unfazed by the storm, struck out with a composed expression.
However, a powerful centrifugal force deflected his fist.
"Eight-Impact Fist: Mace Head Spin - Wild Dance!"
Chinjao, seizing his advantage, increased his spinning speed, like a crazily whirling top on the ice bearing countless slashes and equipped with 'blades'.
After several dodges, Abel had roughly gauged his opponent's current strength.
Just as he thought, there was a significant decline.
With that in mind, there was no need to waste more time. It was time for a quick resolution!
"Baby-5, Devilish Blade: Gauntlet Form!"
The next moment, the short sword hanging at his waist flashed, and cyberpunk-styled mechanical gauntlets appeared on his hands.
His talent "Beastly Strength" activated instantly!
With the three-fold strength increase from the Oni-Ghost Mode and the five-fold increase from "Beastly Strength," Abel didn't dodge the rapidly approaching Chinjao top this time. Instead, he stepped forward and stretched out both hands!
He intended to stop the opponent with sheer power!
Zzzt, zzzt
When Abel's hands touched the 'top,' intense sparks flew in all directions.
Abel was pushed back, carving two trails in the ground, but he eventually stood firm.
Stop right there!
He shouted in his mind, and the rapidly spinning Chinjao truly began to slow down.
A look of surprise flashed across Chinjao's face, seemingly unable to believe that the young man possessed such brute force.
But brute force alone isn't enough!
Chinjao suddenly reversed the direction of his force and, before being forcibly stopped, flipped and charged towards Abel with a headbutt position.
"Isn't this over yet, Iron Head skill, right?"
A glint of cold light flashed in Abel's eyes, and his figure disappeared from the spot instantly, making Chinjao miss his target.
In the next second, Abel appeared above the figure of Chinjao.
With a loud punch, he smashed Chinjao hard into the icy surface.
Seizing the moment, he directly said to Baby-5, "Soul Resonance!"
An odd fluctuation instantly enveloped both Abel and Baby-5, and the originally cyberpunk-styled mechanical gauntlets began to transform amidst a white light.
Eventually, they morphed into a pair of futuristic, sci-fi metal gauntlets equipped with jet pipes, completely encasing his forearms.
While completing the Soul Resonance, Chinjao also leapt out of the ice pit.
"Kid, this next move will finish you off!" he declared.
Realizing Abel was a tough opponent, Chinjao was ready to use his big move.
He first concentrated his Armament Haki around his flattened head.
Then he charged towards the clouds with all his strength and weight at high speed, before focusing the shockwave of the "Octo Punch" on his head.
Finally, diving headfirst with the help of gravity's acceleration, he aimed to maximize the power of his strike!
However, because the impact had dented his head, the move Octo Punch Secret Technique: Cone Dragon Nail had now evolved into Octo Punch Secret Technique: No Cone Dragon, No Cone Nail.
It was somewhat bittersweet.
But the power of this strike was unquestionably destructive.
A single hit could completely pulverize the target, and if it hit a living being, every inch of their body including their bones, would be utterly shattered, even turning to ash.
Even a dilapidated ship has three pounds of nails, not to mention Chinjao in his prime, with a bounty of over 500 million berries and capable of exchanging a few blows with Karp!
Abel was not careless; he first activated his stripes, causing the Dark Wings to emerge on his forehead.
Then the 12 jet pipes on both arms began to heat up rapidly, turning an increasingly bright shade of blue.
"Frenzy Abyss!"
Twelve streams of azure flames, fueled by frenzy, burst forth violently, propelling Abel from the ground into the sky at high speed, leaving behind a dazzling trail of flames.
Abel's preemptive strike meant that Chinjao's move hadn't reached its maximum power before they collided fiercely.
Moreover, Abel had effectively thrown two punches!
After activating Frenzy Abyss, every punch he threw had its power doubled.
This meant his second punch had double the power.
Interestingly, the effect of the "Suit Thug" was also activated.
"Suit Thug" (Purple)
Type: Equipment item
Description: A high-end suit made from a special material.
Effect: Form-fitting and breathable, it does not restrict movement. When the wearer meets the minimum requirements for looks and physique, it triggers the 'Suit Thug' special effect, which occasionally inflicts critical damage on the ugly during attacks. The greater the difference in appearance, the higher the chance of a critical hit. (Can stack with any effects, repairable for 200 trade points after damage)
...
Ever since Abel bought this suit, its effect had never been activated until now.
Chinjao had the misfortune of becoming the first victim.
A handsome blow inflicted a critical hit on the ugly, and it was even a stackable critical damage!
This meant that Abel's first punch dealt double damage, and the second punch delivered four times the damage!
With two concurrent punches, he once again dented Chinjao's flattened head.
Helpless as he was, Abel did not know the 'Pretty Please Punch', nor could he learn the protagonist Luffy's life-saving punch, which could pop an indented head back out with a single blow.
It wasn't some kind of spring stuck in there!
It was simply ludicrous.
